If you have been watching tv, you would have seen the story developing. Top singer, Sonu Nigam has released an open letter claiming he was being forced to have homosexual relations with top film journalist Subhash K Jha(a quick google search will show that almost all the movie reviews on net are his. Apparently Mr Jha had been bugging Sonu about this for some time(with sms like "Love you baby
). 3 months back when sonu(As he says) categorically refused, Mr Jha started a campaign to malign him and today Sonu Nigam has come with an open letter to the press about this.
Zee News - Sonu Nigam alleges sexual harassment by senior journalist Sonu Nigam said, “He used to harass me with his homosexual desires to an extent that my family was affected. We all know that the film industry consists of many gays and homosexuals. Even I have many gay friends but they have never tried to come close to me because they know that I am not interested in it. But in this case, he used to send me weird messages and talk nonsense on the phone.”
Sonu Nigam’s allegations against a senior entertainment journalist are one of the few man-to-man celebrity sexual harassment cases that have hit the limelight in India. Homosexuality is prevalent in the glamour world but such a serious allegation against a known figure speaks volumes about ‘favours’ in the glamour world. The Casting Couch Syndrome can also victimise men and not women alone.
He just was giving an interview and saying that the casting couch not only exists for wannabe actresses but wannabe models and even smaller less established actors.
The controversy is not new with this guy: see this:

Well show business is a tough line but this is my problem with gays. I mean can't these fellows find people like them. Why bug others and normal men. Can't do anything about casting couch though... its too deeply ingrained in bollywood..
